In a world where outputs are needed yesterday, we often forget to sit down and enjoy our work.
One thing became apparent to us during our teambuilding a few weeks ago: we focused too much on the goal, without ever thinking as a group how to get there. Task after task bit us in the ass, all because we couldn’t figure out how to work as a unit.
Early in the day each of us were asked to care for our own egg, pero wa pa gani mi maniudto naa na'y natagak; by the final activity, baho na kaayo mi kay daghan na kaayo'g nangabuak. 😅
So when our facilitators asked us to summarize what we learned about ourselves and the team, we chose to draw an egg. A spoiled, no-good egg. This egg stood for two things—ourselves and our tasks. We were all too focused on finishing our tasks that we often disregarded care, both for our eggs and the way we did our tasks. A spoiled, broken egg will never be a chicken, nor will it be a good omelet.
Ikaw, unsa man nang itloga imong gibitbit diha? Creative rut, or maybe a lull in your business? Whatever it is, that’s alright! Slow down, but don’t stop. Trust yourself, your process, and those around you. Your egg will hatch eventually. 🐣
You got this,
The MI Team 👾
